Pros: Excellent time saver, especially if you dont have parts around you to be the old test and discard, is really good to use with old computers. And it really is a time saver. No more Cpu checking, ram checking, dissamble asslemble, dirt, dust, wasting time on something that take minutes to do with this.
 
Cons: MINE CAME WITHOUT ANY OTHER CONNECTION THAN THE PCI one, only has the soldier points to attach a USB conector, but i dont know if its gonna work, maybe some components its missing. So i ended up paying more for  the item that was around 5 bucks.
 
Other Thoughts: I recommend to hobbyst, to those that do repair computers, even if its a hobby. And i also would look awesome in a modding project. Or just in your case with a window.
 
Bottomline: Nice product. TOO BAD THAT MINE IT CAME WITH MISSING CONNECTIONS

Pros: This is very good because once I popped this card in and turned on my computer I immediately got a code and I looking up the code in the manual and 2 days later I come back from the PC shop and my pc is working again.
 
Cons: None at all. It is too good to be true!
 
Other Thoughts: PC shop sold this for 40 bucks. Dealextreme is waaaaaay cheaper even though they can sell to you for 7 bucks especially with the site-wide free shipping,
 
Bottomline: Must get even though you have no problem with your PC because you never know what lies in the future. But this only works with BIOS/Motherboard issues so don't think it will fix a corrupted hard-drive.
